Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has defended his sweeping COVID-19 pandemic restrictions while facing an onslaught of criticism from Republican challenger Daniel Cameron
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear defended his sweeping COVID-19 pandemic restrictions as he faced an onslaught of criticism from Republican challenger Daniel Cameron in a high-stakes debate Monday night, coming about two weeks before Kentucky's closely watched gubernatorial election. In an hourlong debate from Lexington shown on Kentucky Educational Television, the bitter rivals sparred over the economy, education policies, abortion and transgender issues.
“I showed people during the pandemic I was willing to make the hard decisions, even if it cost me,' Beshear said. 'I put politics out the window, and I made the best decisions I could to save as many lives as possible.” Cameron countered that the governor infringed on constitutional rights with his restrictions. “This governor, because of pride, won’t tell you that he has regrets,” Cameron said.
